Mission Road Ground or Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground is a multi-purpose sports field in Mong Kok, Hong Kong, which is mainly used for cricket matches. It was opened in 1976, and the first match played there was between a Hong Kong XI and the Queensland Colts.

In November 2015 the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that it had approved the ground as venue for holding One Day International (ODI) matches, the venue thus becoming first international cricket venue in East Asia and China.

On 26 January 2016, the ground hosted its first One Day International when the Hong Kong cricket team played against Scotland in the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship. A second scheduled ODI was washed out. On the two following days, the first two Twenty20 Internationals at the ground were played, between the same teams.
